Suspension forks for 29" bikes

The FOX 38 Factory Grip X2 29" is a top-of-the-line enduro and all-mountain suspension fork of the new generation for the 2027 model year. It is designed for the most demanding rides, where maximum sensitivity, stability, and consistent performance are required in long and technical descents. Instead of further increasing stiffness, it focuses on significantly reducing friction, smoother operation, and better response in rough terrain.The new GlideCore air spring offers higher compliance and sensitivity to small bumps, while the generatively designed lower legs with increased bushing overlap reduce friction under lateral load and extend service intervals. Combined with the updated GripX2 damping cartridge, MCU bottom-out bumper, and improved bleed system, the FOX 38 is ready for aggressive enduro trails and bike park use.The fork is optimized for 29" wheels, utilizes a floating axle for precise guidance, and supports a wide range of brake rotor diameters, including a specific mount for an ABS sensor. Thanks to compatibility with mudguards and emphasis on proper SAG and low-speed compression settings, it offers precise tuning according to riding style and conditions. Intended Use: All-Mountain and Enduro riding, aggressive descents, and technical terrain GlideCore Air Spring: new construction with horizontal and vertical compliance for higher sensitivity Increased Bushing Overlap: generatively designed lower legs with increased bushing overlap by 20 mm for lower friction and longer service interval MCU Bottom-Out Bumper: integrated bumper for progressive end stroke and control during hard impacts Updated GripX2 Cartridge: advanced damping with improved compression control for stability and response Improved Bleed Valves: new placement of bypass channels and valves for efficient air pressure equalization Generative Leg Design: optimized stiffness of the bridge and lower legs for better handling Mudguard Compatibility: same mounting system as models 36 and 36 SL Damping Cartridge: GripX Travel: 170 mm Wheel Diameter: 29" Inner Leg Surface Finish: Genuine Kashima Coat Axle: 15 x 110 mm Floating Axle Offset: 44 mm Weight: approximately 2200 g Brake Rotor: support for 180 – 230 mm rotors, ABS mount available Maximum Tire Width: up to 2.6" Setup Recommendation: after setting SAG, fine-tune low-speed compression (LSC) and regularly use bleed valves when changing temperature or altitude ABS Mount: specific mount for ABS system sensor
